Abstract

The pedestrian flow at a crossing is modeled by a two-dimensional system of conservation laws with a location-dependent flux function. Different populations moving in different directions are represented by different phases. Numerical simulations show that the hyperbolic-elliptic degenerate type of equation-system leads to spatial segregation if the initial data are chosen inside the elliptic region of the phase space.
